Many bows 🙇🏻‍♀️ and gasshos to you 🙏🏼. ❤

Love this whole thing. Thank you! I thought of Bob Ross and his saying “happy accident” to describe something you didn’t mean to do but it turned into something wonderful when you mentioned the lady and the feather. I hope you are having a good time in England and everything is going beautifully.

I'm going to actually do this Kathryn. I'll stitch something purposefully with my first cloth dyed with bay leaves and I'll bury it in the garden. We're twins again.... I've met King Charles twice. The first time I was showing him around a nature reserve and made him fruit cake, which he had with some Wensleydale cheese.... :)

@k3n.clothtales 3 месяца назад

Oh yes, fruit cake and Wensleydale, no other way to eat it. Southerners always think I am mad. 😁 I haven't had chance to watch your Sunday video yet but looking forward to it. ♥️

In college, we placed cloth in a plastic tub and layered it with vegetable/fruit scraps. It created beautiful markings. If you live in an apartment and can’t place your bundle outside, you could do that.

This week's project brought into relief how I was holding on to something very tight. I was frantically looking for a beagle. It had to be a beagle 30 pounds or less. When I let go of the need it was obvious I was trying to mask the pain of losing Jake. So good by search hello sadness and maybe in time hello to another sweet beagle in his or her time.

@k3n.clothtales 2 месяца назад

I am so sorry for your loss and hope that whilst you can never replace your sweet Jake, you will one day find another lucky little dog to love, when the time is right. ♥️

I really need to do this ! I’m in the process of letting go of a ton of my possessions as I want to move house and that includes my massive stash of vintage fabrics and linens, threads and wool etc. Not that I’m downsizing I just need the space to go on creating ! There is a woodland nearby and I think that’s where my book will go. But also a beautiful oak tree nearby which I’m drawn to, maybe that will get one too. I bet you would have liked a snippet of the kings camel coat 😂😂😂. Have a great time in England, it’s too far for me to come and meet you sadly. Maybe one day 😊❤x

@DawnMARKCUM-vn7gt 3 месяца назад

Good morning Kathryn I love how when you pulled out the old sheets and it had a patch on it reminded me when I was a child and went to Ohio to spend weekends at my grandmother's she had sheets like that that was on the bed and pillow cases as young as I was I probably thought she was poor but they were nice and crisp like they were hanging on the clothesline all day I think I've got lost I'm way behind and need to catch up but I have to watch this video because I love taking walks in the woods with my dog I'm picking up pine cones and stuff thanks so much for your video it's been really cold here in Lansing Michigan snowing for the last 2 days hopefully tomorrow will be warmer so I can take the walk in the woods and collect my material

@barbscott980 3 месяца назад

@del1336 3 месяца назад

What a lovely project and video. I’m both inspired and a little envious, as I’m sure many of your viewers are 😊 I grew up in a house built by my great grandfather which backed onto forestry commission land in Wales. It was mostly coniferous, with patches of native woods peppered through it. That forestry was our playground, and I still love walking in the woods now, especially in spring when the bluebells are in bloom. I’d be delighted to see your woods through the seasons, if you were inclined to do that in the future - of course, I’m sure you’ll be taking us with you in June when you go to retrieve your bundle. Lovely to meet Sirius too❤

@sandrafitzpatrick4225 2 месяца назад

I'm so enjoying the journey you're taking us on Kathryn ... thank you. We've had no rain since new year so hard to choose where to place my June bundle ... it's under my young lemon tree where it will at least get water and a touch of fertiliser. I enjoyed your poem ... it seemed to me to relate to possessions and connections. Also reminded me of Australian cartoonist Michael Leunig's piece that to me relates more to emotions and feelings. Leunig philosophised: 'Let it, go, Let it out, Let it all unravel, Set it free and it can be, a path on which to travel. The sentiment appeals to me ...

@SingularityHacks-Ephemera 2 месяца назад

I like what you said about your hands. I like your hands. Because yes, they are actresses in this movie, and many people today like artificially beautiful actresses who are not at all authentic and then cling to their beauty, unable to age with grace. When I started watching various videos about junk journals and scrapbooking, I realized that I prefer hands that are natural, which don't have freshly glued nails just for some seemingly necessary aesthetic impression. I watched all the little pieces people made, and I still couldn't decide; I don't like embroidering small things, and letters are small :) But I'm glad that today I finally decided and although I don't do things in the order of weeks, it doesn't matter. Today, we're going on a trip to the forest with our doggy, my little book is already embroidered during the afternoon coffee and your video. Thank you for an interesting experience.

@k3n.clothtales 2 месяца назад

Thank you, even if I wanted the fancy nails (I don't!) they wouldn't last five minutes with the life I lead 😂 I am so pleased you are making a woodland foray with your book and your doggy, hope you enjoy ❤️

@ReallyJillRogoff 3 месяца назад

Thank-you, Kathryn, for taking us to the woods with you. Am looking forward to making my little books, and burying one in the garden on our kitchen porch (we're in a top-floor apartment). Sadly, I can't buy undyed thread here, but will do my best to keep everything as natural as I can. Safe journeys to and from England, and I hope the exhibition is both enjoyable and successful. PS I like your choice of the name Sirius for one of your dogs. 😊

I have wanted to try eco dying for a long time and this is such a cool project!😎K3n, I love the way you are incorporating that quote we all know and love!♥I live in a city apartment in central Canada. It is still winter here in Winnipeg and I don't have access to the cottage yet, so I wasn't sure if I could find the stuff to do this. Then the universe helped me find a rusty nut and washer on the way into work this morning. On the way home I found some rusty screws and a rusty safety pin (bonus!). I also found a few sticks and pine cones that I could wrap my fabric around, so I'm super excited to try this! I am going to bury it in a moss lined planter which was used to hang plants off my balcony railing and let the weather work its magic. I might add a couple of house plant leaves and some loose tea leaves to see if they work some magic on the cloth.🤞🏻

How I loved this presentation, of how you wove the wheel of the year aspects of Equinox and Upcoming Soltice into your outstanding creativity. Quite new myself to Slow Stitching so there has been a lot of binge watching the presentations as I organize my supplies to do some stitching every moment I can. Love all your work, your stories and education as the video goes along. You so inspired me to tea and rust dye fabric, feeling my styles and colours changing to the more muted, antique, natural shades. And I have one more thankyou in this message to you, and that is due to your tutorial on basting with the tiny stitch at front, large stitch on the back, I took to practicing the rhythm of that and have made a few beginner pieces where that is the stitch, creating a pleasing- to- me quilted effect on the front. THANK YOU you are wonderful, I love my new addiction to this fabulous world of Slow Stitching.

I’m behind a bit at present, stuck on the Korean patchwork & planning to try it again for the third time…..groan. I’m finding it very hard to manage the one quarter inch hem - easier with an iron, I suspect. But I loved the look of this week’s project, so I adapted the saying to something more suited for me - “Let it go” & “Let it be”. “Let it go” is buried in one corner of the back yard now, where the soil is a little softer because I once dug a small garden there. On the plus side, I’ve tacked out a fabric patchwork (to slow stitch) as a cover for the journal of these projects, which I have an adaptable hard cover on at present. Your woods are lovely - thank you so much for sharing them with us! 🍀🐾 🐕

@soundofez Месяц назад

thanks again for your company as i sew :) the quote reminded me of a song ("this is gospel," by panic! at the disco) that also uses the phrase "if you love me let me go," though it takes the meaning in a very different direction.

Oh that was fun! Made me giggle when you started your mini rants about apostrophes etc. I used to work for a small publisher and I too am rather pedantic about language, often shouting at tv presenters!

I totally agree with you about one mean comment affecting you….i was constantly picked on at high school about my left leg that was bent before I was born…to this day …I’m now 77 …I don’t wear shorts or short skirts…always long skirts, dresses and pants

People can be so mean, and it hurts. I am so sorry you had that experience ♥️♥️♥️

You always have such wonderful ideas for playing with fabric!!❤ now I want to try this, as well. I probably have enough rust and tea dyed fabrics to last awhile 😂 Thank you also for taking us on your nature walk. I didn't see the cat following. Peace and safety 😊❤

The person who made the nasty comment about your hands has never done anything beautiful with theirs, that's for sure! Thank you for another beautiful video!

This will be a "bye week" for me, as the thing I'd like to "let go of" is my denial that for now I'm living in a desert! But it will be fun seeing what everyone comes up with!

I'm so happy that you showed us how to stitch the runic style text. And the walk in the woods was lovely with so many birds singing. We don't have many trees on our windy isle. I will have to find somewhere to tie my bundle down. 🤣 Hope you're enjoying your visit to Blighty.🇬🇧 Mary x

Try placing your mat in a vessel & pour boiling water over to straighten lumps, then remove and lay flat

Thank you I will try that ❤️

Thank you for our Monday gift. I did another Kawandi for want of something to do and made the granddaughters little black teddies.

So nice to have gone for a walk with you in the woods, since I don’t have them near me 💚🌿 I loved the ideas you gave for those of us who don’t leave near the woods. I have two balconies, so that would be nice, because I know no one would touch it. I don’t have any problem with letting go, in fact, my late mother and my father always felt/feel surprised of how “unattached” to things I am, but I would love to see how my little book would look like after so much time. It was so nice to have met Cyrus (I don’t know if that’s how you spell it). I hope you have a wonderful time in England 🌿💚🍃💚🌱💚🌿💚🍃💚🌱💚🌿💚🍃💚🌱💚

Can't wait to try this! I was wondering, your woods are full of beautiful mosses, have you ever wrapped some of that lovely green into fabric pieces?

@k3n.clothtales 3 месяца назад

Hello yes the mosses are beautiful, I don't use them in bundles nor lichen either, they are not likely to give colour or marks and I prefer them where they are. Since I read the book Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer, I am in awe of the moss and don't even like to walk on it unless it's unavoidable. 😁 Sometimes a little tiny piece of moss decides to grow on one of my bundles though. ❤️

Well I am ready to bury my book and in the last two days we have received a foot of snow! 😊
